  In this award-winning memoir translated from Italian to English, a Jewish girl grows up during a difficult time of racial discrimination and war, and discovers light in unexpected places. This classic, powerful story from Lia Levi is adapted for young readers, with a powerful author’s note to readers.  
  1938, Italy. Six-year-old Lia loves to build sandcastles at the beach and her biggest problem is her shyness and quiet, birdlike voice—until prime minister Mussolini joins forces with Hitler in World War II, and everything changes. 
  Now there are laws saying Jewish children can’t go to school, Jews can’t work, or go on vacation. It’s difficult for Lia to understand why this is happening to her family. When her father loses his job, they must give up their home and move from city to city. 
  As war comes closer, it becomes too dangerous to stay together, and Lia and her sisters are sent to hide at a convent. Will she ever be “just a girl” again? 
  The memoir is full of poignant moments of friendship and loss, dreaded tests at school, told in Lia's captivating voice, as she grows into a young teen. Just a Girl is an important addition to the WWII Jewish canon. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  Assalamu Alaikum, Sister. Welcome. 
  Ameena feels invisible. Ever since she arrived at her school a few months ago, kids  
  look at her like she’s something strange. Is it because of the twists in her hair? Or  
  her brown skin?  
  Then, one day, there’s a new new kid in class. Ameena sees her. Sees her  
  brownness. Sees her hijab. Sees her in ways that the other kids do not. 
  Ameena wants to be her friend … but she doesn’t know how. She can’t seem to  
  find the right words … until one day, when they find those words together. 
  A moving celebration of friendship and sisterhood, Sister Friend shows the  
  importance of being yourself and the joy of finding friends who see your true  
  heart.
